Book Description
The object of this book is to give the English readers the material necessary for a full understanding of one of the greatest and most interesting Italian mystical poets: Jacopone da Todi, the typical singer of the Franciscan movement, the first writer of philosophic religious poetry, and perhaps the most picturesque figure in the history of early Italian Literature. - From the Preface

Book Description
Considered a pioneer in Italian theater, Jacopone is probably nowadays best known as the author of religious poems, typified by their flamboyant and, sometimes, heartbreaking drama. He was filled with the conviction that God extravagantly loves sinful humans.

Book Description
A delightful collection of soul-inspiring poems from the world's great religious and spiritual traditions, accompanied by Ivan M. Granger's meditative thoughts and commentary. Rumi, Whitman, Issa, Teresa of Avila, Dickinson, Blake, Lalla, and many others. These are poems of seeking and awakening... and the longing in between. ------------ Praise for The Longing in Between "The Longing in Between is a work of sheer beauty. Many of the selected poems are not widely known, and Ivan M. Granger has done a great service, not only by bringing them to public attention, but by opening their deeper meaning with his own rare poetic and mystic sensibility." ROGER HOUSDEN author of the best-selling Ten Poems to Change Your Life series "Ivan M. Granger's new anthology, The Longing in Between, gives us a unique collection of profoundly moving poetry. It presents some of the choicest fruit from the flowering of mystics across time, across traditions and from around the world. After each of the poems in this anthology Ivan M. Granger shares his reflections and contemplations, inviting the reader to new and deeper views of the Divine Presence. This is a grace-filled collection which the reader will gladly return to over and over again." LAWRENCE EDWARDS, Ph.D. author of Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom and Kali's Bazaar

Book Description
Tommaso Traetta (Bitonto 1727 - Venice 1779) The Munich version of the Stabat Mater by Tommaso Traetta (1767) was found in Munich (Germany) in 1994 and performed the following year in the first modern day's performance in the seventeenth century's Chiesa del Carmine, at Bitonto's Maria Cristina Institute. Compared to the Naples version of the Stabat Mater, which was composed ten years earlier, and that has been defined by Damerini as "a valuable page of sacred music of the eighteenth century," this version exudes a radical religiosity that shakes the soul and becomes a reason for meditation and asceticism in line with the Lauda by Jacopone da Todi. Music and lyrics reach a suffered and humane intensity in the more mature Traetta, in a perfect parallel between the approach to Golgotha and the transition from earthly life to eternal life of the blessed admitted to contemplating the face of God. ----------------------------------------- Lo Stabat Mater di Monaco (1767) di Tommaso Traetta e stato rinvenuto a Monaco di Baviera nel 1994 ed eseguito l'anno successivo in prima esecuzione in tempi moderni nella seicentesca Chiesa del Carmine, presso l'Istituto Maria Cristina di Bitonto. Rispetto allo Stabat Mater di Napoli di dieci anni prima - definito dal Damerini "una pregevole pagina di musica sacra del Settecento" - emana una religiosita radicale che scuote l'animo e diventa motivo di meditazione e di ascesi in linea con la Lauda di Jacopone da Todi. Musica e parola raggiungono una intensita sofferta ed umana nel Traetta maturo, in un ideale parallelismo tra l'avvicinarsi al Golgota ed il passaggio dalla vita terrena a quella eterna dei beati ammessi alla contemplazione del volto di Dio."

Book Description
The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.
